JNO II

JNO II is Particle Sound's next generation sampled Juno 106 instrument and takes all of the original samples and features of our popular JNO I synth and expands on them by more than doubling the core library size, adding useful new features like 2 true oscillators per layer and including the same flexible new effects architecture first introduced in Forks.

JNO II's dual oscillators per layer add up to 4 simultaneous sound sources per instrument with each layer also having it's own complete multimode filter, panning and modulation sections. The oscillator sections of each layer are identical with oscillator 1 letting you choose from over 140 waveforms, multi-sampled synth or processed sounds while oscillator 2 allows you to select from 66 waveforms and steady state sounds. This new architecture allows access to JNO II's entire core library from a single .NKI instrument with the factory presets stored as 106 Kontakt 5 snapshots.

JNO II's new effects section has 4 freely assignable insert effects slots in addition to master delay and convolution reverb send effects. The convolution reverb allows a choice between one of 60 custom impulse responses, including 25 new impulses sampled from the DEP-5, a little known vintage Roland effects unit from the same era as the Juno 106 that has a wonderfully grainy and washy sound that perfectly compliments the sound of JNO II. Each of the 4 insert slots allows a choice between one of 18 different effects including Eq, compression, distortion, cabinet emulation, modulation and reverb type effects.
